I have two small boys and not much time to myself. This blog is MY space, where I can be creative and get inspiration from others.

refurbished bookshelf/desk

Here is the before shot of the bookshelf/desk. Not bad looking, but not what I wanted. (Isn't my son a cutie? He insisted on being in the picture.) I tried sanding it a little, but it isn't real wood and that wasn't working out so well, and wasn't doing much, so I did two coats of primer instead.

Then two coats of white paint in a semi gloss and about a yard of Mary Engelbreit fabric and Thrifty Decor Chick's trick for the back of the shelves! I think it turned out SO cute! I wish this was for our home, but sadly, it has somewhere else to live. Luckily it is already out the door, or I may have changed my mind. I just love it!

Your blog is simply amazing! I found your link through A Soft Place to Land and have loved checking everything out today. Hard to believe that so many different and absolutely wonderful blogs link up in one place every week.
